Berenice passed her time in hoping and praying for her husband's return, and in preparing and adorning her home for his reception; in training and improving the negroes; in visiting and relieving the poor; and in walking to the turnstile and watching the high-road.
The turnstile behind him was kept in a whirl by students pushing through and hurrying toward the college a few hundred yards distant; others, who had just left it, came tramping toward him and passing out. In a retired part of the campus, he could see several pacing slowly to and fro in the grass, holding text-books before their faces.
He was waiting for them beside the turnstile at the station, having already procured their tickets and reserved a carriage in one of the omnibus trains from Paris to Treport which make stops at various suburban stations. "Will it be a very long journey?" Henri asked, on taking his place in the carriage. "Barely three-quarters of an hour," said the Duke, as the train started on its way.
You were made to charm and console, to represent beauty and harmony and variety to miserable human beings; and the daily life of man is the theatre for that not a vulgar shop with a turnstile that's open only once in the twenty-four hours. 'Without it, verily!" Peter proceeded with a still, deep heat that kept down in a manner his rising scorn and exasperated passion.
But Andrea remained listless, only rousing when his proposed a visit to the tomb of Romeo and Juliet which was the one place his mother had charged him to see. The show was to open the next morning at ten o'clock, and long before that time there was an eager crowd at the turnstile.

They paid their two halfpennies at the turnstile and crossed the bridge. The Trent was very full. It swept silent and insidious under the bridge, travelling in a soft body. There had been a great deal of rain.
"And what," he demanded, "what doth a little cavalier in a Puritan hotbed?" "I am even where God hath been pleased to set me, sir." "'Twas a ticklish place he set thee when I came up." "By your leave, sir, 'tis a higher place than I ever thought to know." M. Radisson laughed a low, mellow laugh, and, vowing I should be a court gallant, put me down before Eli Kirke's turnstile.
There is no one on the platform to meet us, and we push our way through the turnstile. There is Donald, on the outskirts of the waiting crowd a tall, soldierly figure in the uniform of a private for he has resigned his sergeant's stripes by now.
The garden extends along the east side of Lincoln's Inn Fields, the New Square occupying the south portion, the new hall and library the middle part, and the west part of Stone Buildings facing the northern part. A terrace divides them, and there is a gate into the Fields, the roadway leading north to Great Turnstile and Holborn.
For the third time in my life I pushed up the gully between the straight high walls of rock, and heard from the heart of the hills the thunder of the imprisoned river. There was only the faintest gleam of light in the cleft, but it sufficed to show me that the way to the cave was open. The hidden turnstile in the right wall stood ajar; I entered, and carelessly swung it behind me.
